About me

Finding the right counsellor to suit your needs can be difficult, therefore I offer a free initial consultation to help identify your issues, and for you to learn a little about the way we can work together. I am a Masters Degree educated counsellor and psychotherapist with nearly 28 years professional experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer. I have 24 years experience of providing counselling and psychotherapy, short term (6 sessions) and longer term in GP practices in Bath, Wiltshire and Somerset, and in private practice.

I believe that no single counselling or therapy approach suits the needs of a broad spectrum of people or presenting problems and therefore, work integratively using a number of counselling approaches including psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic Counselling, and Transactional Analysis.

I offer a free no obligation initial 30 minute consultation to explore your issues and to allow you to decide whether I am the right thaerapist for you.

I work in Rode (Nr Frome).

I am a reistered member of BACP and work to their code of ethics and practice.

Fees

Fees are capped at £40 for a 60 minute session and I offer a sliding scale of fees negotiable at the initial consultation.. My aim is to provide affordable counselling for all in times of distress or for personal development.

I offer reduced fees for counselling to counsellors in training.

I work in Rode (between Frome and Trowbridge) and can be flexible regarding times of sessions. Sessions do not have to be weekly and you have a choice regarding regularity.

An increasing number of Health Insurance Companies are including Counselling as part of their health & well being package - it's worth enquiring to check if the cost can be claimed back.

Further information

I am also a qualified supervisor with 23 years experience of supervising counsellors, therapists and health workers in higher education, the NHS, voluntary and statutory organisations and private practice.
